Lewis Hamilton has apologised for making "inappropriate" comments in a video in which he appeared to mock his nephew's princess dress. In an Instagram video, which has since been deleted, the Formula 1 driver says "boys don't wear princess dresses". He was criticised on social media for the clip, which was apparently filmed on Christmas Day. The 32-year-old tweeted his "deepest apologies", saying he loved that his nephew "feels free to express himself".


quote:

In response to the video, founder of anti-bullying charity Ditch the Label Liam Hackett tweeted: "Disappointing to see somebody with such a huge platform use it to publicly shame and attempt to undermine a small child." Meanwhile, Imraan Sathar of discrimination support charity Stay Brave UK, called for the driver to be stripped of his MBE. Hamilton later apologised for his behaviour and said it was "really not acceptable" to marginalise or stereotype anyone.

But....boys don't wear princess dresses.

I fail to see the problem with his statement.

I mean, they can. It just doesn't magically make them a girl.

Because these idiots think saying such things will ruin their career. If he would've stood his ground, nothing would've happened. Now that he caved, the left wing PC nazis are even more emboldened.


The head of an anti-bullying group is bullying F1 and their sponsors to strip a man of his livelihood because he said something they don't like.

This is the twilight zone.

Saying that “boys don’t wear dresses” is “inappropriate”

The comment I was THINKING of making was about Nascar drivers. The ad at the bottom of the page was about Nascar. They are now reading our thoughts.
